Phenylethylamine is
now available as a raw material ingredient and being sold at 8 dollars a kilo.
Phenylethylamine is an alkaloid and monoamine.

Function of phenylethylamineIn the human brain, phenylethylamine may work as
a neurotransmitter. Phenethylamine is a natural compound made from the amino acid
phenylalanine.

Webmedcentral. 2013. β-phenylethylamine, a small molecule
with a large impact. During a screen of bacterial nutrients as inhibitors of
Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm, the Prüß research team made an intriguing
observation: among 95 carbon and 95 nitrogen sources tested, β-phenylethylamine
(PEA) performed best at reducing bacterial cell counts and biofilm amounts, when
supplemented to liquid beef broth medium. This review article summarizes what is
known about PEA. After some starting information on the chemistry of the
molecule, we focus on PEA as a neurotransmitter and then move on to its role in
food processing. PEA is a trace amine whose molecular mechanism of action
differs from biogenic amines, such as serotonin or dopamine. Especially low or
high concentrations of PEA may be associated with specific psychological
disorders. For those disorders that are characterized by low PEA levels (e.g.
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), PEA has been suggested as a 'safe'
alternative to drugs, such as amphetamine or methylphenidate, which are
accompanied by many undesirable side effects. On the food processing end, PEA
can be detected in food either as a result of microbial metabolism or thermal
processing. PEA's presence in food can be used as an indicator of bacterial
contamination.

Phenylethylamine and MAO
inhibitor
Concentrations of phenylethylamine PEA are
greatly increased in brain following administration of monoamine oxidase
inhibitor antidepressants. Phenylethylamine
is a metabolite of the MAOI antidepressant phenelzine.

Phenylethylamine chocolate
Some individuals who crave chocolate in large amounts tend to do so when they
feel emotionally unfulfilled. There have been a series of articles in lay
magazines that chocolate's mood elevating properties reflect 'drug-like'
substances such as anandamines, caffeine, phenylethylamine and magnesium.
However, the levels of these substances are so low as to preclude such
influences. As all palatable foods stimulate endorphin release in the brain this
is the most likely mechanism to account for the temporary elevation of mood from
chocolate consumption. Phenylethylamine
is found in many foods such as chocolate, especially after microbial
fermentation. It has been suggested that phenethylamine from food may have
psychoactive effects in sufficient quantities. However, it is quickly
metabolized by the enzyme MAO-B, preventing significant concentrations from
reaching the brain.

Emails
I have been to South Africa and tested kanna extract. That would bee something
for you. Do you any vendor of 2 phenylethylamine.
We are not familiar with kanna extract.
